You can get a similar effect by issuing the following command:

        Q * for *<string>*

This gives a rather verbose output, admittedly.  You may prefer:

        Q ***GUI*** * for *<string>*

Why *<string>* instead of just <string>?  It's because SCAN looks for
a substring whereas Q looks for the entire email address to match the
pattern.  As an example,

        SCAN LSTOWN-L earthweb

would return in part [log in to unmask], but

        Q LSTOWN-L FOR earthweb

would return anything as "earthweb" isn't an email address subscribed
to the mailing list (in fact it's not an email address at all).

I think this has been discussed before; a search through the archives
may turn up more information on this issue.  (The archives are
available at http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/lstown-l.html .)
